Every year here in California, the kids have the week of President's Day off for winter break. At the last minute this year, we decided to spend some time in Virginia. Emma has been learning about some of the presidents and monuments in schools, so she was really excited to do a little sightseeing.
The first day we were there, we drove into Washington DC to see some of the monuments
The first one we saw was the Washington Monument
Ian was excited to see the monuments, too
The Jefferson Memorial
Emma had just studied Martin Luther King Jr in school, so this was another exciting one for her
Walking through Washington, Ian figured out he could put his hands in his pockets to keep them warm
Lincoln Memorial

Another Day, we headed to Mount Vernon to see where George Washington lived.
Emma was really excited that the step grandchildren in this statue were the same ages as herself and Ian

This was a really fun trip and we look forward to going back and exploring some more!
